More addiction is good for your bottom line.

So us on the other side have to say, all right, we're going to put in

laws and regulations so that that is harder to achieve.

Never going to get rid of all of it, but you can make it a lot, lot harder.

Gambling is a great example.

I mean, I'm just amazed that we have just given up on any restrictions on gambling now.

I mean, when I was a kid, Pete Rose was not allowed to go into the Hall of Fame because he had once placed a bet on his own team.

He wasn't even doing anything corrupt, but he bet on his own team would win.

He was kept out of the Hall of Fame.

Now you can't watch a sporting event.

without having gambling ads shoved in your face.

Like that's an example of something that should just not be the case.

That is terrible for anyone who's trying to quit gambling.

It's terrible for a lot of young men particularly, but not just young men are just ruining themselves economically over sports gambling.

And we don't need this, we can do without it.

Yeah, that's good.

That's good.

There's a tremendous book, Addiction by Design.

And I'm afraid I'm going to mispronounce the name of the person who wrote it.

I think it's Schull, but I'm not sure.
